PlayStation titles rumoured for HTC devices

HTC's mobile devices are to gain PlayStation certification, it has been reported.

Pocket-lint cites inside sources claiming that the firm's Android tablets and smartphones will be the first third-party platforms to host PSOne titles.

The report speculates that an official announcement could be made later this month at the Mobile World Congress.

Sony's PlayStation certification scheme, intended as a cross-platform initiative, has previously brought games from its back catalogue to its own devices, including the Xperia Play.

Crash Bandicoot, Bruce Lee, Asphalt Adrenaline 6 and Splinter Cell: Conviction are already available for selected Sony and Sony Ericsson handsets, but are yet to appear on tablets and mobiles from other manufacturers.
